We sing the glories of thy love

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 24

Verse 1

We sing the glories of thy love, We sound thy dreadful name; The Christian church unites the songs Of Moses and the Lamb.

Verse 2

Great God! how wondrous are thy works Of vengeance and of grace! Thou King of saints, Almighty Lord, How just and true thy ways!

Verse 3

Who dares refuse to fear thy name, Or worship at thy throne? Thy judgments speak thine holiness Through all the nations known.

Verse 4

Great Babylon that rules the earth, Drunk with the martyrs' blood, Her crimes shall speedily awake The fury of our God.

Verse 5

The cup of wrath is ready mixed, And she must drink the dregs: Strong is the Lord, her sovereign Judge, And shall fulfil the plagues.
